Best Selling Romance Fantasy Writer, Jeffrey Redmond, Joins Amazon Kindle Program By
Theresa Chaze

Best selling ebook author, Jeffrey Redmond has released his popular fantasy romance "The Islands of Mak-Naw" in the Amazon Kindle collection. Originally released exclusively through Double Dragon ebooks April 2007, "The Islands of Mak-Naw" has joined the growing list of best selling novels available through the Amazon Kindle program. This ground breaking release appeals not only to traditional romance readers, but also expands the genre to include the action, adventure, and sexuality that appeals to the male readership.

Considered relentless by her colleagues on Earth, Katarena is determined to learn why an infamous singer chose to disappear. She arrives on the Planet Er-Da, only to learn that her advanced research tools were incompatible with the less advanced society. Ethnic customs of the patriarchal culture discounted her professional credentials based solely on her gender. Blocked from official channels, Katarena seeks other avenues of information.

But instead of leading her to the missing singer, she stumbles upon information about a planetary weapon of mass-destruction. A boat takes her to the remote islands of Mak-Naw, where she expects to find safety and answers. Instead, she finds only a deserted shore. A sudden approaching storm forces Katarena to seek shelter further inland, only to find an alien male so much different from the one she had been seeking.

Bersten emerges from his well hidden cabin and angrily orders her to leave his island. She refuses, demanding to know what connection he has to the terrible secrets. Furious, he attempts to force her off his island and back on her boat; however, the storm and the high seas compel them both back inland. Trapped alone with him on the island, Katarina finds herself aroused by this tempestuous male. Her head tells her that he might be a madman who created a planetary killer weapon; yet when she looks into his dark eyes, she feels only her rising passion.

According to ebook reviewer, Zee of Enchanting Reviews, "The Islands of Mak-Naw" lives up to its hype. Suspenseful adventure is wafted through every sentence of the story. But here is where the author achieved his feat –– the mystery surrounding the reclusive hero in no way overshadows the character he is, nor does it prevent the heroine from having her own spotlight. The romance between them is captured in almost heart-melting detail –– how can the reader not root for them? The writing flows from the first page itself, so much so that you find yourself sucked into the story and into the alien world the characters inhabit. For a book where most of the action takes place between two people in a closed-confines setting, the read is never stifling nor claustrophobic."
